Carmanah Technologies Corporation has been awarded a contract in the amount of $1,423,402 from Public Works & Government Services Canada (PWGSC) for a 108-kilowatt (kW) solar power system to be installed on the roof of the Jean Canfield Building in Charlottetown, PEI.

This installation will become the largest solar power system in Canada.

Currently under construction, the Jean Canfield Building is located on University Avenue, bordering on Fitzroy and Euston Streets in downtown Charlottetown.

The four-storey building will house approximately 500 civil servants and, while maintaining the historical architectural style of downtown Charlottetown, will become a national showcase for sustainable and green design.
